Podcasts about Mona Lisa

We all do it - put things off, tell ourselves we'll start tomorrow, and somehow still miss the deadline. But chronic procrastination isn't just a bad habit; it's self-sabotaging behavior that can derail our goals, relationships, and even our health. Psychologist Dr. Joseph Ferrari, a leading expert on procrastination, breaks down the emotional roots of procrastination, debunks the myth that we "work best under pressure," and offers science-backed strategies for change. Plus - meet one of history's most legendary procrastinators: Leonardo da Vinci. Find out how his epic delays shaped the Mona Lisa, and why some believe he never truly finished it.   Thanks for enjoying this archive episode of This Is Your Brain.

Alberta announces a vote on whether to hold a vote on whether to separate -- and a former Conservative cabinet minister tells us about his plan to convince as many people as possible that Canada's union is worth preserving. He was restrained without restraint. And now, people in Ireland are demanding answers after the death of a Black man who was suspected of shoplifting -- and set upon by security guards. A Jamaican politician tells us what it was like to be interrupted in parliament for speaking Patois -- or Jamaican -- and why she's speaking out about speaking it. When Victor Bal got his university degree today, he was accompanied by his service dog Kopek -- who joined him for every class he took. And ultimately should also have been given a degree. Stephen Colbert's "Late Show" has come to an end; a long-time writer for the show tells us the host's finely tuned moral compass guided the writer's room, even on the toughest days.Everybody wants their photo taken with one Parisian celebrity -- so the Louvre is moving the Mona Lisa to her very own space, where people can stop fighting over self-portraits with the portrait. As It Happens, the Friday Edition. Radio that hates to get in the middle of a Louvre's quarrel.

Halo sobat kreatif… masih lanjut cerita dari rumah gue.Kalau kemarin dari halaman, sekarang pindah ke ruang tengah.Di sana ada lukisan Mona Lisa yang awalnya gue anggap biasa aja.Tapi lama-lama, tiap lewat rasanya kayak lagi diliatin.Awalnya gue pikir cuma perasaan.Sampai akhirnya rasa itu kebawa terus… bahkan sampai mimpi.Dan dari situ gue mulai mikir,ini cuma sugesti atau emang ada sesuatu?Cerita lengkapnya ada di KamisTeri.Karena di KamisTeri…lo nggak sendirian.

Maintenant Vous Savez, c'est aussi ⁠Maintenant Vous Savez - Santé⁠ et ⁠Maintenant Vous Savez - Culture⁠. Vous faites peut-être partie des chanceux qui se sont déjà rendus au Louvre. Vous vous êtes forcément dirigé vers le tableau de Léonard de Vinci, et vous avez remarqué qu'en regardant Mona Lisa depuis la gauche, d'en face, ou depuis la droite: on a l'impression que La Joconde croise notre regard en permanence. Deux chercheurs allemands, Sebastian Loth et Gernot Horstmann, ont résolu ce mystère : cette impression de regard fixe est due à une illusion d'optique aussi appelé ‘effet Mona Lisa'.

This week on The Creep Dive we spiral headfirst into one of the strangest tabloid stories currently unfolding online: Katie Price's whirlwind marriage to alleged millionaire entrepreneur Lee Andrews a Dubai-based “visionary CEO” whose AI-generated Instagram empire, mysterious business claims, suspicious exes, possible travel bans and sudden disappearance have left the British tabloids absolutely foaming at the mouth.Is he a billionaire futurist? A Tinder Swindler-style scammer? A man held together entirely by Canva, motivational quotes and black-and-white podcast photos? We investigate.Then, because apparently this episode accidentally became about fame, fraud, mythology and the terrifying power of collective belief, Jen takes us into the extraordinary true story of the Mona Lisa theft the bizarre 1911 heist that transformed a relatively overlooked Renaissance painting into the most famous artwork on earth.Featuring: fake wealth, fake identities, Picasso being questioned by police, Katie Price refusing to back down, the psychology of scams, AI self-invention, a handyman hiding the Mona Lisa in a trunk for two years, and the increasingly unsettling feeling that modern life may just be one giant confidence trick held together by vibes and good lighting.Listen ad-free and get an extra full bonus episode every week over on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/thecreepdive Hosted on Acast.

En el Día Internacional de los Museos, Pepe Rubio y Sergio Castro se preguntan si seguimos visitando museos para contemplar arte o para demostrar que hemos estado allí: selfies frente a Las Meninas, colas para fotografiar Mona Lisa y exposiciones pensadas para Instagram. Los desmontadores de 'Mitos 2.0', acompañados por nuestro experto en arte Pablo Ortiz de Zárate, tratan de desmentir si "Vamos a los museos por postureo", si ha cambiado nuestra forma de visitarlos, que influencia tienen las redes sociales y el teléfono móvil en como miramos los cuadros...

AOC says it's impossible to earn a billion dollars. Impossible. Which tells you less about economics than it does about the size of her mental studio apartment. That's the Left's whole philosophy now: if they can't imagine it, it must be evil. These are people who think gender is a watercolor painting but success is somehow rigidly capped at “assistant manager at a vegan co-op.”And what a confession this is. Think about it. She's essentially saying:“No human being could possibly create THAT much value.”Really? So what's the value of a cure for polio? What's the value of electricity? Air conditioning in Phoenix alone should make somebody a trillionaire by August. Imagine saying this to history's innovators.Leonardo da Vinci paints the Mona Lisa, invents flying machines, studies anatomy centuries ahead of his time, and AOC strolls in like a substitute teacher with a ring light:“Okay, Leonardo, but nobody needs this much canvas equity.”Or take Elon Musk. You may dislike the guy, but rockets landing themselves used to be science fiction. The man basically looked at NASA and said, “Cute government project. Mind if I try it without the filing cabinets?” Meanwhile, politicians who have never created a paperclip are lecturing innovators about “earning too much.”That's always the punchline. The people most offended by wealth are almost always career government employees whose entire business model is spending other people's money with the precision of raccoons fighting over a vending machine.And notice the arrogance embedded in her statement. It's not merely “some billionaires are corrupt.” Fine, argue that. She's saying human excellence itself has a ceiling.That nobody can be:smart enough disciplined enough creative enough useful enough to generate that level of value voluntarily in the marketplace.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Lonardo da Vinci war 64 Jahre alt, als er 1516 auf einem Maultier über die Alpen an die Loire ritt. Hier quartierte der französische König ihn in einem Schloss ein: Château du Clos Lucé. Warum es durch einen Geheimgng mit dem Schloss des Königs verbunden war und wieso die Treppe, die Leonardo da Vinci hier für ein ganz neues Schloss des Königs – Chambord – erfand, so visionär war: Das erzählen dir Kathrin Sander und Inka Schmeling, die beiden Hosts des plazy-Podcasts "places to go", in dieser Episode.

Why is the Bulls legend hawking "the Mona Lisa of sports" as a talking Web3 meme-coin NFT? And who are the secret weapons turning the 60-year-old Hall-of-Famer into a crypto bro, with a last-ditch effort to cash in on The Last Dance? Pablo breaks out the folders for Jordan family friend Wyatt Cenac and former Pippen colleague Amin Elhassan, featuring revelations on MJ's son, Benihana, Lil Hippo... and so on.• Previously on PTFO: The Last Dance of Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan Hosted on Acast.

Let's be honest, this episode should have been called ""Shop Talk"" because it's 70% theater rakes, 20% filmmaking and maybe 10% We Like Sportz. I guess we could have called it We Like Shop Talkz. Regardless, Jorm and Akiva are technically talking (as opposed to talking technically) about We Like Sportz from 2008 and featured on Incredibad. The second installment of the ""Just Two Guyz"" franchise we see Guy #1 and Guy #2 sing about their obsession with sports and definitely not their daddy issues. They get some great insight from Daniel Scheinert (of the Daniels who isn't spoiling their next movie, a slow boil court room drama) on theater rakes, and Chester Tam, and Jonah Hill, both of who were on site in Encino when this ""Mona Lisa"" was created. Plus a bonus dis track from Liz! Enjoy the episode and definitely let us know what you think about IMAX.

Leonardo Da Vinci was one of the greatest minds in history. He painted some of the most famous works of art ever: the Mona Lisa, Last Supper, and more. He was also a scientist, an engineer, an anatomist, and an inventor. He is often described as the perfect example of a “Renaissance man.” A Renaissance man is someone who is skilled in many different areas, especially during the time of the Renaissance. The Renaissance was a period of history when art, science, and learning were rapidly developing across Europe. In today's episode, we're going to explore the life of Leonardo da Vinci. Who exactly was he? What were his greatest achievements? Can we really call him a scientist? And does his legacy still matter today, more than 500 years after his death? And we'll do this while practicing our English listening comprehension and learning some new vocabulary!

SummaryGreat leaders aren't just visionaries—they are unwaveringly predictable, establishing trust and stability within their teams. In this week's Visionary Leader with Jim Robinson episode, Jim explores why consistency is a cornerstone of effective leadership and how it fosters an environment where accountability, emotional safety, and success can flourish.Predictability isn't about rigid routines, but rather about being consistent in values, behaviors, and responses, especially under pressure. Jim shares how leaders who consistently show up as their authentic selves build a reputation for emotional steadiness. People crave that reliability; it anchors them during turbulent times and minimizes anxiety that comes from unexpected shifts or inconsistent treatment.The episode highlights the difference between charismatic and steady leaders. While charisma can attract attention, Jim argues that steadiness is what keeps people loyal and driven. Teams take comfort in knowing what to expect from their leader, allowing them to focus on their own performance rather than bracing for leadership mood swings.Practical habits, or as Jim calls them, “rituals,” cement a leader's dependability. Whether it's daily routines or established processes, these rituals make success repeatable and create an infectious culture of excellence.Ultimately, if a leader is great and predictable, people will want to follow. Predictability paves the way from “the poster from Kmart” to “the Mona Lisa”—the kind of legacy every leader hopes to paint.

If you judge him by his own elaborate metrics, Leonardo da Vinci was a failure. Long before the Mona Lisa became shorthand for genius, Leonardo imagined himself as something else entirely: a military engineer, a designer of bridges and armoured vehicles, a master of siegecraft and architecture. In 1482, he wrote a breathless letter to Ludovico Sforza, Duke of Milan, itemising these talents with bravado and noting, quickly, that oh, he could paint, too. Many of his boldest designs never left the page, or arrived centuries too early to be built. By his own standards, the future-facing polymath fell short. In this episode, Elizabeth Day and Dan Jones roam through history's workshops, laboratories, monasteries, and battlefields to ask what failure really looks like. From Leonardo's unrealised machines to Antonie van Leeuwenhoek's accidental discovery of microbiology, from champagne's explosive beginnings to gunpowder's grim transformation, they trace how curiosity, misjudgement, and wrong turns can quietly reshape the world. What emerges is a gentler, stranger truth: failure is often just invention, waiting for the world to catch up. – As always, Dan's royal favourites can chime in anytime on the royal court on Patreon at patreon.com/thisishistory. And don't forget to listen to this season's accompanying bonus episodes for this miniseries, where Dan and Producer Al are dissecting the biggest historical failures as submitted by the royal favourites.

Few people know, or write about, Paris as well as Elaine Sciolino. With an extensive background in journalism, Elaine was the Paris bureau chief for the New York Times and remains a contributing writer. She has also written four books on Paris and French culture. Her book, The Only Street in Paris, put her neighborhood on the map, portraying the various merchants, food sellers, and restaurants that line the rue des Martyrs, a microcosm of life in the city.Her recent book is Adventures in the Louvre: How to Fall in Love with the World's Greatest Museum. If the subtitle intrigues you, it's because the Louvre has had its ups and downs over the years, beginning its life as a fortress, then becoming a residence, then a public “shopping” center, and now, a museum. Elaine takes readers on a journey through the imposing wall and behind the scenes of this famous museum, which both captivates, and vexes, visitors. Being right next to the Seine, the museum is prone to flooding, crowds crane their necks to see the Mona Lisa, and robbers broke in recently, in broad daylight, snatching €88 million ($102 dollars) in jewels, which haven't been seen since. Security has been a recurring problem at the museum, and the video security system password at the time of the robbery was “Louvre.”Elaine's book is also full of fun facts about the museum, including one that notes if you wanted to see the whole museum, the walk would be nine miles (14.5km). Other helpful advice: “Never go on an empty stomach and with a full bladder,” because the food offerings in the museum don't match the cultural treasures in the galleries and corridors. In the podcast, Elaine gave a great tip for visiting the Louvre and avoiding the crowds and the lines, which you might find helpful on your next visit. Enjoy the chat!-David* Follow Elaine Sciolino on Instagram. * Connect with Elaine on Facebook. * Visit Elaine's website.* Read Elaine's articles in the New York Times. As always, I ask my podcast guests their favorite addresses in Paris. Here are the ones Elaine mentioned, with a few of her notes: -Les Poissonniers de Montmartre (5 rue des Martyrs, 9th)Elaine says every Thursday Akim, the owner, makes his version of bouillabaisse available to-go, priced at €13.90 for two servings.-La Pâtisserie des Martyrs – Sébastien GaudardThis has her favorite lemon tart, and she also likes the “original”-style macarons.-Les CanaillesOwner Yann always gives a warm welcome.-Le Comptoir Canaille Italian cuisine.-Chez MamyElaine is fond of their bœuf bourguinon, billed as joue de bœuf, or beef cheeks.-Le Quincy (28 Av.

Welcome to the Video Store Podcast.The 1990s were a golden age for legal dramas and comedies.we're stepping into the courtroom with four unforgettable films that deliver everything from shocking twists to laugh-out-loud moments. Whether you're here for high-stakes drama or sharp-witted comedy, consider this your jury duty… and trust me, you won't want to skip out on this one. Primal Fear (1996)Primal Fear is the kind of legal thriller that pulls you in immediately and refuses to let go. Richard Gere stars as Martin Vail, a slick Chicago defense attorney who thrives on high‑profile cases and the media attention. When an altar boy is accused of murdering a beloved archbishop, Vail jumps in only to find himself tangled in a case far more complex than he ever expected. The real revelation is Edward Norton in his breakout role as Aaron, the timid young defendant at the center of the storm. Norton brings a layered, unsettling vulnerability to the character. Gere, leans into the arrogance and charm that make Vail both magnetic and infuriating. Primal Fear endure is one of the decade's most satisfying legal thrillers, and a reminder of how thrilling a courtroom can be when the truth is anything but clear.A Time to Kill (1996)John Grisham adaptations were everywhere in the 90s, but A Time to Kill stands out as it questions justice, morality, and race in the South. Set in Mississippi, the story follows small‑town lawyer Jake Brigance as he defends Carl Lee Hailey, a man whose actions, while undeniably violent, raise difficult questions about justice and retribution. The case ignites racial tensions, draws the attention of the Ku Klux Klan, and pushes Jake into a fight that threatens his career, his safety, and his family.The cast is stacked: Matthew McConaughey in his first major leading role, Samuel L. Jackson delivering one of his best performances, and supporting roles from Sandra Bullock, Donald and Kiefer Sutherland, Kevin Spacey, and more. A Time to Kill doesn't shy away from uncomfortable truths, instead forcing both the characters and the audience to wrestle with them. The courtroom scenes are gripping, culminating in one of the most memorable closing arguments of the decade.My Cousin Vinny (1992)When two New York college students are mistakenly arrested for murder in rural Alabama, they call in the only lawyer they know: Vinny Gambini, a loud‑mouthed, inexperienced personal‑injury attorney from Brooklyn. Joe Pesci is perfect as Vinny, blending New York swagger, frustration, and surprising competence as he fumbles his way through Southern etiquette and courtroom procedure. But it's Marisa Tomei who steals the show as Vinny's Fiancée Mona Lisa. My Cousin Vinny is a perfect blend of comedy and courtroom drama. Behind the laughs is a a smart, well‑constructed legal story. It's a comedy that still holds up today because the writing is strong, the characters are unforgettable, and the laughs come naturally. It's a true 90s classic.A Few Good Men (1992)“You can't handle the truth!” A Few Good Men is a military courtroom drama focusing on the trial of two Marines accused in a death that may be tied to orders from higher up the chain of command. What starts as a seemingly straightforward defense case evolves into a gripping examination of authority, duty, and moral responsibility. The cast is packed with top Hollywood stars: Tom Cruise, Demi Moore, Kevin Bacon, Kiefer Sutherland, Kevin Pollak, and of course Jack Nicholson as the formidable Colonel Jessup. It's a masterclass in building tension, culminating in some of the most iconic courtroom moments ever put on screen. Decades later, it remains one of the genre's defining films, and a must‑watch for anyone who loves a good legal showdown.Closing ArgumentsFrom twist‑filled thrillers to laugh‑out‑loud courtroom chaos, these four films show just how powerful courtroom movies can be. The 90s didn't just deliver great legal dramas, they gave us some of the most rewatchable, quote-worthy, and thought-provoking films of the era. The jury may still be out on which one is the best, but all four are absolutely guilty of being endlessly rewatchable.Until next time — be kind, rewind.Thanks for reading Video Store Podcast!

En este fascinante episodio de La Rueda del Misterio, entrevistamos a Dolores García Ruiz, escritora, investigadora y experta en Leonardo da Vinci (miembro de la Mona Lisa Foundation). Descubre los secretos ocultos de la Gioconda del Louvre: el revolucionario efecto de relieve tridimensional que Leonardo creó con su técnica de sfumato, haciendo que la figura parezca viva y que su enigmática sonrisa siga al espectador desde cualquier ángulo. Dolores revela detalles exclusivos sobre la Primera Mona Lisa (o Mona Lisa de Isleworth), el retrato anterior que muestra a Lisa Gherardini mucho más joven, y defiende que ambos son obras auténticas del genio florentino. Explica cómo el ropaje de la Gioconda conecta con el arte de la seda valenciano y las transformaciones económicas tras el descubrimiento de América, convirtiendo estos cuadros en testigos de una época de cambio global. Un viaje entre historia, arte, misterio y ciencia: la conexión profunda entre Leonardo y Lisa, el verdadero significado de la sonrisa y los enigmas que aún fascinan al mundo siglos después. ¡No te pierdas esta reveladora charla llena de claves ocultas del Renacimiento! #LaRuedaDelMisterio #DoloresGarciaRuiz #MonaLisa #Gioconda #LeonardoDaVinci #SecretoMonaLisa #PrimeraMonaLisa #MisteriosDelArte #DaVinciSecrets #EnigmasHistoria laruedadelmisterio2010@gmail.com ®© La Rueda del Misterio

Paříž patří mezi hlavní centra světové módy. Svá sídla tam mají známé značky a pravidelně se tam sjíždějí vyhlášení tvůrci. Tento týden se v centru města na pár dní otevřela kamenná prodejna populární značky s hidžáby, šaty a dalšími muslimskými oděvy, která těží z místy provokativní a kontroverzní marketingové kampaně. Podnik například oblékl na sociálních sítích do muslimských šatů Eiffelovu věž nebo Monu Lisu.

El 17 de marzo de 1919, en Montgomery, Alabama, nació uno de los mayores 'crooners' de la historia: Nathaniel Adams Coles, conocido como Nat King Cole. Pianista, además de cantante, le escuchamos en grabaciones de 1956 en trío ('You can depend on me', 'Candy', 'Sweet Lorraine', 'It´s only a paper moon', 'You´re looking at me'); de 1958 con la orquesta de Gordon Jenkins ('The very thought of you', 'But beautiful', 'Making believe you´re here', 'The more I see you'); de 1942 a 1944 en trío ('That ain´t it right', 'Don´t blame me', 'Straighten up and fly right'); con orquesta en 1950 ('Mona Lisa') y 1951 ('Unforgettable', 'Walkin´my baby back home') y en trío en 1961 ('Orange coloured sky').Escuchar audio

Su obra más conocida es el cuadro "Mona Lisa", que está expuesto en el Museo del Louvre, en Francia. Quienes conocen sus pinturas saben que solía dibujar en los personajes algunos rasgos de su propia fisonomía. Así, los retratos adquirían una nariz prominente, cabello largo y una barba ondulada.Toda obra de arte revela aspectos de su creador y es una extensión del artista. Este principio se puede percibir en los Diez Mandamientos, presentados en Exodo 20. Al escribir la Ley con su propio dedo en dos tablas de piedra (Éxo. 31:18), Dios reveló a la humanidad no solo su voluntad, sino también la esencia de quién es él. Elena de White comentó: "La Ley de Dios es un reflejo de su carácter" (Patriarcas y profetas, p. 647). Es interesante observar que tanto la Ley como el Legislador poseen los mismos atributos de perfección, santidad, justicia y belleza. Podemos decir, entonces, que la Ley es una selfie del carácter de Dios.Si pudiéramos resumir la Ley divina en una sola palabra, "amor" sería la elegida. El apóstol Pablo escribió: "El que ama al prójimo cumple la ley" y "el amor es el cumplimiento de la ley" (Rom. 13:8, 10). El amor es la esencia de la Ley, el resumen de sus principios. Los cuatro primeros mandamientos del Decálogo están relacionados con el amor a Dios; y los seis mandamientos restantes, con el amor al prójimo. La Ley y su Autor se definen por la palabra "amor" (1 Juan 4:8).Sin embargo, como en todas las obras de arte, deben tomarse ciertos cuidados. En su primera carta al joven Timoteo, Pablo advirtió: "La ley es buena, si se la usa debidamente" (1 Tim. 1:8). La Ley de Dios ha sufrido una fuerte oposición a lo largo de los milenios. Entre los usos indebidos se encuentran el legalismo (creer que la obediencia a la Ley puede salvar) y el liberalismo (creer que la Ley ya no sirve para nada).Dios quiere que tengamos una relación correcta con su Ley. No fue hecha para salvar; su función es señalar el pecado, ser la norma del Juicio y conducirnos al Salvador (Gál. 3:21). Te invito hoy a contemplar la Ley del Señor. En ella verás la belleza del amor de Jesús.

In this episode, Julia speaks with Mona about how education — formal, informal, cultural, and familial — quietly shapes the way we lead, often without us realising it.Together, they reflect on moments in their own leading where habits, preferences, and blind spots can be traced directly back to how they were educated — what was rewarded, what was discouraged, and what was never questioned. From structure and organisation to evidence, empowerment, and questioning authority, education sits deep in our Essence.The conversation explores how early learning can both strengthen and limit us. Julia and Mona talk candidly about prejudice versus judgement, the impact of failure, and the importance of learning, unlearning, and relearning as we grow. They reflect on how questioning — something encouraged in some educations and punished in others — becomes central to trust, confidence, and psychological safety in teams.Mona also shares how empathy and grace play a crucial role in leading across difference — recognising that people come with different capacities, experiences, and confidence, and that equality does not mean sameness.This episode is a reminder that leading is shaped long before our first job title — and that the work of leading well often begins with understanding, and questioning, the education that formed us.About the Guest: Mona-Lisa Danieli Mungure is an Attorney in the High Courts of Botswana and the Regional Head of a division in one of Botswana's government Ministries. Additionally, she plays a strategic role in Botswana's human rights discourse where she has served and continues to serve as a national consultant and national legal team coordinator on different occasions. She has experience in various aspects of civil law and she has worked in pluralistic environments including private practice, the public sector and civil society organizations. She is the Executive Director of an award winning initiative called Molao Matters which sits on various regional and national networks to push for women's rights holistically. Molao Matters also provides pro bono services to marginalized women and advances feminist approaches in civic governance and development spaces. Mona-Lisa is also a certified Data Protection Officer and a firm advocate for just practices in data management ecosystems.

Varga Viktor – Szabadság vagy beilleszkedés?  ep. 301   MÓKA Podcast – Magyarok Óriási Kalandjai Amerikában   Mi történik akkor, amikor valaki nem akar beilleszkedni, és ezt nem magyarázza, hanem végigéli?   Ebben az epizódban Varga Viktor őszintén mesél gyerekkori kirekesztésről, az önkifejezés áráról, extrém utazásokról, a művészet határairól, a Sztárbox megnyerésének belső tanulságairól, valamint arról a Mona Lisához köthető performanszról, amely sokaknál kérdéseket vetett fel.   Ez nem bulvárinterjú. Ez egy hosszú, gondolkodós beszélgetés identitásról, szabadságról és következményekről.    Témák, amelyek szóba kerülnek az epizódban  • Gyerekkori bántalmazás, kirekesztés és az önvédelem megtanulása  • Miért érezte magát mindig „kilógónak", és hogyan lett ebből erő  • A Csillag születik utáni időszak belső dilemmái  • Miért nem a közönség visszajelzéseiből merít energiát  • Egy amerikai roadtrip története és egy félreértés az amerikai hatóságokkal  • Extrém utazások Peruban, Ázsiában és a természethez való visszatérés  • Spirituális élmények saját tapasztalatokon keresztül, magyarázat nélkül  • Miért él jurtában, és mit ad neki az egyszerű, természetközeli élet  • A Mona Lisa-videó valódi háttere, mint művészi gesztus  • Sztárbox. Felkészülés, fegyelem, mentális határok és győzelem  • Mit tanított neki a Sztárbox megnyerése, és mit vitt tovább az életébe    Sztárbox – nem csak fizikai kihívás   A beszélgetésben Viktor részletesen mesél arról, hogyan készült fel a Sztárboxra, mit jelentett számára megnyerni egy olyan küzdelmet, amely nem a saját komfortzónájából indult, és milyen belső változásokat indított el benne a ring tapasztalata.    Mona Lisa és a művészet határai   Szóba kerül az a Louvre-ban készült videó is, amely sokaknál megosztó volt.   Viktor elmondja:  • mi történt pontosan  • mi volt az üzenet  • hol húzza meg a határt provokáció és tisztelet között  • és mit gondol a művészet szerepéről a mai figyelemvezérelt világban    Ez az epizód azoknak szól, akik:  • szeretik a mély, nem sablonos beszélgetéseket  • kíváncsiak arra, mi van a nyilvános szerep mögött  • nem kész válaszokat, hanem gondolatokat keresnek

In this inaugural installment of Decoder Rings Back, Willa calls up listener Dustin Malek about his cultural mystery: Why did the Mona Lisa, of all paintings, become the most famous in the world, bar none? Willa shares the story of daring heist that turned Leonardo da Vinci's enigmatic smiling subject into a celebrity.Future episodes of Decoder Rings Back will only be available to Slate Plus subscribers.
